=Steps (manual wiring)=

If you do not want to use PCB 1.3, you can (with some limitation) connect the components directly to the Arduino Mega as shown below. The limitations are: there will be no battery charging circuit, no charging station, and of course your wiring will not look as nice as a ready PCB :-) In Azruit Firmware (mower.h), choose PCB_1_2 and DRIVER_L298N.

Steps (PCB 1.3)

The Ardumower Mini can run the same software as the 'big Ardumower'. For the PCB, it's recommended to use PCB 1.3.

NOTE: Do not use more than 7 volt to operate the mini DC motors!

Important: Connect motor driver GND to Arduino GND, so both share a common GND!
